Corporations have recently started to acknowledge that they cannot tackle their social and environmental responsibilities by themselves. Concepts such as extended producer responsibility and life cycle assessment approaches have drawn attention to the corporate environmental responsibility beyond corporate boundaries. Also, approaches based on the stakeholder theory and industrial ecology extend the discussion of corporate environmental responsibility to sustainability networks. This study explores the salience of different stakeholders for corporate environmental responsibility. Cost efficiency, and value-advantage-seeking approaches to corporate environmental responsibility are contrasted and related to differences in stakeholder salience. Cross-industrial comparisons are made in order to account for significant differences between industries.

Some moves in this direction have been made, but one area so far left unexplored is the question of whether the ecosystem metaphor allows a comparison between the way ecosystems change over time and the way human economic entities change and adapt over time. This paper considers this issue at the level of the firm. It is found that firms...

Industrial synergy has long been one of the applications of industrial ecology; popularised in the 1980's. Industrial synergy increases the interaction between industries through the utilisation of wastes/by–products, thereby offering a closed–loop system. A target application for industrial synergy is Primary industry which generates a huge amount of waste. Historically however, most existing synergies have been unplanned and were established by interested industries. To date, new symbiotic relations have not...

The Chemical Valley in France, a territory composed of various industrial platforms, is facing sustainability challenges. These business parks are located in the vicinity of strategic resources (water networks, pipeline networks). Their organisation allows the pooling of services, equipment and resources. Industrial ecology reveals existing and potential industrial synergies. Environmental management services within companies include facility and employee safety, waste management and effluent treatment; however,...
